The victim’s father has demanded compensation from the government and called for appropriate action against the culprits. He has also questioned the police and administration’s handling of the case.

These four murders may be linked to an incident that occurred on August 18, and the police investigation is now moving in that direction. On August 18, Poonam Bharti was on her way to a hospital with her husband Sunil to take their child for a check-up when a man named Chandan Verma harassed her. He also physically assaulted her and used abusive language.
